Ambassador's Message

Ambassador IWAMA Kiminori's  Message

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to JUAAB for working tirelessly to provide all possible support to promote Japan-Bangladesh friendly relations since 2000. JUAAB’s mission to provide Japanese language and culture teaching resources has promoted socio-cultural understanding and mutual admiration between the two countries.

JUAAB is currently as the largest Japanese alumni association in Bangladesh. It has successfully dedicated considerable amount of resources to conducting JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test) twice a year. Furthermore, JUAAB brings examiners from all over Bangladesh, ensuring that the exams are conducted in a well-managed and neutral environment. Every year, the Embassy of Japan and JUAAB hosts the Japanese Speech Contest. This year, the 14^th Japanese Speech Contest was held at the Embassy’s premises for the first time. This has provided us a great opportunity to recognize academic excellence and further promote goodwill and mutual understanding between Japan and Bangladesh.
